io Stealing i. H.L. Headlines _ where a clash between New York THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1940 PAGE SE! (By The "Canadian Press) The stage hasn't been reached 'Rangers and Boston Bruins is pass- 'sd up without notice by National Hockey League fans, but it has to be admitted that their meetings now do not attract quite so much atten {ion as in recent seasons. All that undoubtedly would be changed if the two teams occupied loftier positions in the standing, and there's no law that says such a thing will not come to pass. Bul at present the Bruins are in fourth po- sition and the Rangers in fifth and they haven't looked much like the teams that finished one, two last season. The Rangers have been plagued with injuries and once they return to top strength they likely will start an upward surge. The Bruins were slow to start put nave looked better in their past few outings, although they dropped a decision to Toronto Maple Leafs and Chicago Black- hawks over the week-end. The headlong rush of the Leafs, as much as anything, has served to push other clubs in the league into the publicity background for the To- rontonians have been stealing all the headlines. They have won 10 of their 12 games, dropping contests only to Rangers and Chicago Black Hawks. '1'wice winners over Montreal Can- adiens this season, the Leafs play the Montrealers again on Thursday in Toronto while Chicago Black Hawks take on Americans in New York. i ------ CANADIAN TROOPS FORM OWN SOCCER DIVISIONS ---- London, Dec. 10.--Arrangements have been completed for the Cana- dian troops here to do a little bat- tling among themselves. The setup was announced yesterday for an Association football competition which will see eighty-four teams in action. Despite the frustrated efforts of the Luftwaffe to turn playing fields into bunkers, there is still plenty of sport going on in England.

Derouin, 24, of Cobalt, is in St. Joseph's hos- potal here in a critical condition, The fatality occurred just outside the city limits early yesterday, when Roy, Miss Derouin.and her brother-in-law, F. Gervais, were re- turning to the city after visiting in the district. Tey roads caused the car to skid into the ditch. Gervais volunteered to go for help and left Roy and Miss Derouin sitting % the car with the motor running.

SAYS GERMANY IS HIT HARDER THAN BRITAIN NBC Reporter Claims Hitler's Industrial Output | Cut 30 P.C. and Eng- land's 20 -- British* Morale Better Baltimore, Dec. 10--Warren Irvin, National Broadcasting Company re- porter, just returned from a year in Europe, estimated that bomb dam- age had caused a 30 per cent reduc- tion in German industrial output compared with a 20 per cent drop in British. Stories from Britain, sent out un. der comparatively mild censorship, had given Americans a greatly exag- gerated idea of damage done to Britain, Irvin said. "In Germany, the correspondents are confined to what the Germans say about what they have done in England, and nothing of what hap- pens in Germany," said Irvin, Whose assignments took him to Bondon and Berlin, as well as Copenhzgen, Oslo and the Balkans. The Royal Air Force is hitting military objectives, he said, because German cities were unprotected by balloon barrages and British pilots could aim from low altitudes. Nazi bombers, on the other hand, "must resort to haphazard bombing from altitudes of from 15,000 to 20,000 feet." "I know that the dock areas of Hamburg are ruined," he asserted; "that there has been heavy damage to the industrial plants in the Ruhr and that Cologne is in ruins." y Irvin said he rated British morale | at 85 per cent and German at 45. CHECK MILITIA FOR 'SLACKERS' Men Short on Training May Be Called to Camp --Dodging Claimed Ottawa, Dec. 10.--A quiet check- up on the activities or lack of in- terest of members of the Non-Per- manent Active Militia is being car- ried out by district officers com- manding in several military dis- tricts, it was learned at the Defense Department last night. When the time comes for the De- fence Department to make its third demand upon the War Services De- partment fer enough men to fill the 30 compulsory training centres, NP.AM. men who have not done the equivalent of 30 days in camp may be called. The third training period starts Jan. 10. The National War Services Regu- lations provide for no exemptions from military training except for judges, clergymen, police and fire- men. But they do make provision for postponement of training in the case of men of the ages called who can point to having accomplished in the N.P,AM, the equivalent of 30 days' training. However, one official said it had been found that "a considerable number of men who joined the N.P. AM. shortly before the War Ser- vices Regulations went into effect, largely for the purpose of avoiding military training" have not been doing their entire duty, These, it is learned, will in all probability be called to camp as the next training period begins, The check-up on slackness has been left largely in the hands of local district officers commanding, and registrars in divisions which correspond roughly to the military districts. It wes made known that in Divi- sion "C," which includes Ottawa, there are 225 single men 21, 22 and 23 years old, who registered as members of N.P.AM. units, but whose training to date hag'not been conscious condition, equivalent to 30 days in camp, bd Mechanical Whale May Reap Oil from Sea Without Whale By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE (Associated Press Science Writer) Seattle, Dec, 10 (AP).--Only one scientific test remains to show the feasibility of the mechanical whale, a ship to extract whale oil from the sea instead of from whales. This test is a cruise through the Bering Sea to verify the stories told by whalers and other seamen. They say the plankton, flcating organic sea life on which whales feed, is s0 profuse there that sometimes the water is soupy with these organisms to a depth of about 1,000 feet, The plan to make whale oil dir- ectly out of these organisms is no dream. The sponsor is Professor Trevor Kincaid of the University of Washington, one of the most prac- tical scientists of this generation, It was his genius which transplanted the Japanese oyster to Puget Sound and thereby gave the west coast its first large oyster. Plankton--the drifting life of the sea, in contrast to creatures which move voluntarily by swimming -- includes both 'animals and plants. There are numegous varieties of both, : » They have one thing in common, each containing a tiny drop of rich oil. It is this oll, Professcr Kin- caid says, which the whales store in their bodies after feeding on Plankton. In his laboratory here Professor Kincaid has experimented with making plankton cil. were remarkable. The oil obtained by the simple and easy process of squeezing the plankton was as good as whale oil, and virtually the same. Moreover, seven times mcre' oiF was extracted from masses | plankton than from? comparable volume of whales. Professor Kincaid belléves the oll can be 'obtained fromthe plankton' more - cheaply than by killing whales, Economically this would ' solva the acute problem which now threatens whales with extinction. There would be, under his plan, more whales, more oil and less ex- pense, The results [+ of | ply wculd pump water out of the sea In the rich feeding areas. Whales, he said, sometimes take in hundreds of pounds of these tiny organisms in a single mouthful of water. The question is: can a me- chanical whale do as well? Whether the mechanical whales will ultimately deplete these seafood sources is dcubtful., The cold wat- ers of the Arctic and the Antarctic are so rich in plankton form of life that scientists call them the pas- tures of the sea. In addition to oil, the mechanical whale ships probably would provide the werld with an additional table delicacy. Plankton soup long has been served at the royal tables in Monaco, and Russian explorers in the Arctic have used it as part of their fare, After the oil is pressed out Pro- fessor Kincald says the residue of pulp is useful for animal foods and fertilizer. Trenton Man Convicted Under Defense Act Trenton; Dec. 10 -- Appearing for sentence after his conviction on a charge under the Defense of Can- ada Refylations, John Douglas Munrd, of Frankford, was fined $25 and costs of $2225 by Magistrate E. J. Butler on Saturday. A charge of stealing rails from a fence on the property of John Cole- man, on November 18, against Alice and Barton Westfall, was dismissed by Magistrate Butler when the Crown offered no evidence to sup- port the charges. In the same court ,Kathleen Cook, of Trenton. was convicted on 2 charge of vagrancy, and was sen- tenced to six months in Mercer Re- formatory. She pleaded guilty to His mechanical 'whale ship sim- | the charge.

Announcement of the appropria~ tion, roughly four times greater than this year's amount and only $200,000 under the Dominion's half- million 1941 tourist promotion fig- ure, was acclaimed by delegates who were gathered at the Royal York Hotel at the direction of the On- tario Travel and Publicity Bureau. The Premier said that Canada's domestic currency needs under stress could be satisfied by a sys tem of currency control. "But of necessity," he added, "we must have currency to pay for the war goods which we purchase in the United States. It is the solemn duty of every one of us to get as many United States dollars into the coun- try as we possibly can. We must not merely ask for this money, but we must be ready to give value for money received." "There has been criticism against the Government because it has been rather niggardly in its tourist ap- propriations," said the Premier. "This year, I am happy to inform you, we have sgreed to place $300,- 000 in the estimates to place at the disposal of Douglas Oliver, your chairman and the director of pub- licity for Ontario. And I want to say he has a free hand because this Government has absolute confidence in him and will render him every possible co-operation." Program Outlined Mr. Oliver, in outlining the bureau's program, said it would like to increase the sale of Crown lands to American cottagers, to encourage more Americans to inspect the gold areas and the T. & N.O. Railway district. He advised delegatés also that steps have been taken to "scotch fifth-column propaganda before it makes any headway." In this latter connection, Leo Dolan, director of publicity for the "We are going to be faced by an even more inten- sive Nazi campaign to influence United States travellers not to come to this country." R. H. Tarr of the Foreign Ex- change Control Board also stressed that the travel business was one of "our most important and necessary war industries" and not simply a stimulus to internal business. "In 1939," he continued, "the tourist trade was estimated to have brought in some $275.000,000 to Canada. When you think of those tourist dollars in terms of the airplanes and guns they will buy, you will realize their vital importance." Both Mr. Dolan and Mr. Oliver said the success of the 1941 cam- paign would be measured by the degree of co-operation given by the municipalities. The Ontario director submitted as a basis of the program strong municipal organizations with local tourist promotion committees to co-operate with the Provincial board. This suggestion was adopt- ed, together with one, first pro- moted by W. Garfield Case of Owen Sound, to divide the Province into zones, Behind this latter move, which was given wide support, was the contention that tourists could be interested in districts rather than one place, and that zone co-opera- tion in promotion would eliminate waste. Co-ordination of the munici- palities' efforts was recommended by speakers, including L. B. Cal- nan, Picton, who said that Prince Edward County, tourist promotion has been on that basis for years. FOUR COUNTRIES PEG WHEAT PRICE Leading Nations Move to Control Production --Tremendous Surplus By FRANKLIN MULLIN (Associated Press Financial Writer) Chicago, Dec. 10 (AP). --Govern- ment resources of the world's four principal wheat-exporting countries --Canada, the United States, Are gentina and Australia -- have been pressed into service to stabilize pro- ducers' prices in the emergency created by war's crippling effect on international trade, The total supply of wheat in the granaries of these nations for the season beginning last July 1 was estimated by grain men here at 2,- 280,000,000 bushels, of which, they said, only about 965,000,000 bushels would be needed for normal house consumption, What is to be done with the re- maining 1,324,000,000 bushels, con- sidering that total world shipments for the season are expected to amount to only 250,000,000 bushels, is the crux of the dilemma facing four governments. Here are the major steps each has taken to meet the problem: The United States -- No change Woollen Articles For A.T.S. Women Concern of Queen Woollen comforts and other nec- essary articles for the women of the Auxiliary Territorial Services of Great Britain, over whose welfare Her Majesty the Queen has ex- pressed particular concern, have been added to the work program prescribed by the Women's War Work Committee of the Canadian Red Cross, Mrs. Wallace Campbell, national chairman, announced yes- terday. "We believe," Mrs. Camprell said, "that we should care as much for these courageous women as we do for the men of the active service forces. They are showing a man's strength in their work. They re- ceive the regular army issue, but it is up to the women of Canada-- who do not know what it is to brave icy winds on a bleak coast- line in the dead of night or to stand on their feet till thev drop-- to provide woollen comforts for them. " The women of the Auxiliary Ter- ritorial Services act as "observers" on the coasts of Britain in all sorts of weather, as cooks, orderiles, fire- fighters, clerks, truck and ambu- lance drivers. There are thousands of them in Britain, and thousands more are being enlisted. They of'en live under canvas or in requisition- ed empty houses. They move from place to place at a moment's notice and have no time to look alter their wardrobes. Instructions for the urgently- needed articles are contained in a special Red Cross booklet just {is- sued. The articles include long stockings, sockees, knee - length socks, combinations, woollen knick- ers, leather driving gloves and woollen gloves, helmets, scarves, pullovers and cardigans, sinall pil- lows, hot water bottles and covers, comfort bags, rugs and afghans, toilet necessities and other more personal comforts. Further increases in Canadian live stock production, says the Current Review of Agricultural Conditions in Canada, are expected during the 1040-41 season with feed prices re- maining low relative to live stock prices. in acreage allotment for 1941 has been made. The federal govern- ment is supporting prices through a high duty on imports, a subsidy on exports to certain countries and loans to eligible producers based at about 81 cents a bushel, Chicago. More than 263,000,000 bushels have been sealed under loans, thus re- moving from circulation about a fourth of the 1,076,000,000 bushel supply for the season; Canada--The gcvernment is tak- ing delivery at fixed prices ranging up to 70 cents. Minimum prices are in effect, the Winnipeg December futures minimum being 71%. A quota has been placed on wheat board acceptance from farmers due to shortage of storage space. Limi- tation of the 1941 crop is expected to be sought inasmuch as the sup- ply of 843,000,000 bushels for the season was more than 600 per cent. of home requirements. Argentina -- A minimum price of 541; cents has been fixed. Inas- much as Argentina had a poor crop last season, the carry-over, despite a drop in exports, is small. Howe ever, harvest of 230,000,000 bushels is now under way. Acreage control was provided for in the grain board program under which the govern- ment is buying wheat, ARMANHURT WALKING ROAD NEAR TRENTON Hurled to Pavement de vn tured Skull Belleville, Dec. 10 -- TWoP J were taken to hospital asthe of accidents over the Both were reported last satisfactory condition, i Aircraftsman Ellison Collier, 23, of 6 Air Repair Depot, RCAF, Trenton, was. struck by a wests bound car driven by Keith Young, of Carrying Place as he walked on the north side of Highway 2, near the Air Station late Saturday night.

In England Get, Gift of Radio Sets From Legion " Somewhere In England, Dec The generosity of 8 Cheshire man has made it possible for the Cansd- dian Légion War Services to supply a field regiment of the R.C.A. overs seas with several brand new radio sets. So now from the camp coms pound during the nightly blackouts, in contrast to the wail of the bane shee, can be heard the gay musie and singing of the B.B.C.'s best eni~ tertainers. The gift arrived at the Legion's London headquarters as a £25 que, with instructions to be used the most appropriate way. Captain Mert Plunkett, formerly of Torohe to and now director of Legion en tertainment services overseas, was at that moment unable to meet demands for radio receiving and on his recommendation the Canadian Artillery men became the beneficiaries. In his letter of appreciation to the Legion and the donor, the com= mandy officer of the regiment "This regiment lost its wire- i aT Teg, to make & hurried evacuation from France. But I can assure you that these set§ will not meet the same fate, as the, next time we land in France,. we. land to stay." EL A Rk
